The trend of rising torture based on religion, caste and gender trigger a sense of alarm

Anti Violence Initiative, Campaign

In ancient republics, torture was tied to citizenship. Torture was inflicted exclusively on non- citizens like slaves, barbarians and foreigners. As an instrument of demarcation, torture delineates the boundary between slaves and free, between the touchable bodies of free citizens and untouchable bodies of the slaves. It is unimaginable that modern democracies like India are as weak as Athenian democracy and the prevalence of practice of torture resemble the Athenian model. Today torture victim include not only terrorists and criminals but street children, migrants, socially marginalized groups and religiously discriminated communities. All of them now fall into the class of quasi citizens. It is time to break conspiracy of silence.
